I write this petition as a member of a family of passionate software engineers, and I'm witnessing firsthand how an increasing number of technical jobs are being delegated overseas. This trend is not just displacing dedicated American workers, but it's also jeopardizing our national technical security.

Why? Because our confidential data and complex systems are being managed overseas, in locations of uncertain political stability, and this represents a real danger. It goes beyond personal sacrifice; it impacts overall American technical competence and competitiveness.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, there has been a 30% increase in Computer Systems Design and Related Services jobs being outsourced from 2009 to 2019 (US BLS 2020). That's a significant shift that can't be ignored, especially given our increasing dependence on technology to run our economy, our government, and our everyday lives.

Let's work together to address this. We need legislation and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) policies that prioritize domestic job retention and compensate for any potentially higher cost with tax incentives. Protection of American workers and technical security needs to be paramount.

By signing this petition, you will join a collective call for the immediate halt of outsourcing American technical, white, and blue collar jobs. Stand up for American workers, national security, and our future technological development. Please, sign this petition today.
